<p>The reasoning behind my answer, that it's in the eye of the beholder, is that it's fun. Using a cantrip to purify not-exactly-inedible food is in no way gamebreaking. But that scene where the picky, snobbish magic user can use Purify food and drink on a piece of stale bread while the undemanding, outdoorsy magic user can't is to good to prevent with a rules-argument.</p>Gallant Armor wrote:I'm playing a Shaman so I won't get prestidigitation.

Prestidigitations are minor tricks that novice spellcasters use for practice. Once cast, a prestidigitation spell enables you to perform simple magical effects for 1 hour. The effects are minor and have severe limitations. A prestidigitation can slowly lift 1 pound of material. It can color, clean, or soil items in a 1-foot cube each round. It can chill, warm,<b> or flavor</b> 1 pound of nonliving material. It cannot deal damage or affect the concentration of spellcasters. Prestidigitation can create small objects, but they look crude and artificial. The materials created by a prestidigitation spell are extremely fragile, and they cannot be used as tools, weapons, or spell components. Finally, prestidigitation lacks the power to duplicate any other spell effects. Any actual change to an object (beyond just moving, cleaning, or soiling it) persists only 1 hour.</blockquote></blockquote><p>I'm playing a Shaman so I won't get prestidigitation.
